U.S. anti-DPRK campaign denounced

KCNA

    Pyongyang, July 2 (KCNA) -- U.S. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher in a news briefing a few days ago made public some "information" related to the DPRK's export of missiles, noting that other countries should refrain from military cooperation with North Korea. In this regard Rodong Sinmun today runs a signed commentary. The U.S. assertion that the DPRK's export of missiles is illegal and threatens other countries and thus they should break off trade and military cooperation with the DPRK is a frantic violation of the principle of respect for the sovereignty of independent states and non-interference in others' internal affairs, the commentary says, and goes on:
    The U.S. had exported weapons worth nearly 50 billion dollars from 1997 to 2001. The U.S. tops the list of weapon export states, gaining huge profits.
    It is none other than the U.S. that has committed illegal acts in exporting weapons and threatened other countries.
    The U.S. sinister anti-DPRK campaign aims to internationalize "threats" from the DPRK to lay a "collective siege" to the DPRK. The U.S. moves to form a "collective siege network" against the DPRK are, in essence, the revelation of its dangerous attempt to bring the DPRK under its control by the allied imperialist forces and international reactionaries.
    The DPRK's development, deployment and export of missiles is a matter belonging to the sovereign right of the Korean people. If the DPRK does not have such a powerful war deterrent force as missiles, it may be attacked by the U.S. any time. The U.S. racket about the development, deployment and export of missiles in the DPRK can never go down with the Korean people.
    The determination of the Korean people to strengthen the self-defensive military power in every way under the Songun banner will never be shaken whatever others may say.
